The thing is, it doesn't have much to do with being trans as such; it has to do with living under several intersecting axes of oppression. Being trans is just one of them. And that's the problem with how TDoR is generally organized by well-off white trans women and white trans men like myself, who would like you to think that we're all at equal risk. The reality is that as a white trans man whose gender usually gets accepted without question and is in the top 10% of income earners in the US, I face (for all intents and purposes) zero risk for being trans. But good luck finding a TDoR event where anybody will mention that.
